According to a company press release, the first run of Conception II will come in a special box and include a 10-track CD of game music composed by Masato Kouda. Pre-orders of both the 3DS and Vita versions from participating retailers will be guaranteed to receive the special edition. Suggested retail price in the U.S. will be $39.99.

Atlus also revealed a few more details about the game itself. The main protagonist of the game has been nicknamed "God's Gift" due to the power of the Star God he possesses. He will have the opportunity to create "Star Children," small warriors to use in battle, with seven different maidens depending on the strengths of his relationships with them. The first of these heroines is Fuuko, a classmate at the hero's academy; since it's an academy, of course, there will be a rival to deal with — the pompous rich kid Alec.

New screenshots from the 3DS version of the game are included in the gallery below. Will you be keeping check on its arrival next year? Let us know below.
